A Study of Low Cost Recirulation Aquaculture

The overarching goal of this study is to attempt to demonstrate a low-cost approach to recirculation aquaculture of turbot (Psetta maxima), a high value marine flatfish. The two main assumptions of the project are: • Recirculation aquaculture (for UK industry) is inherently desirable because it allows species diversification, enhances biosecurity and minimises environmental impact • Current recirculation systems are too expensive for the production of fish for human consumption, and would be vulnerable to price declines in the market as aquaculture expands in the future – and are thus not good investment propositions for the industry The project reared its own juvenile turbot at the Marine Farming Unit in Ardtoe, with eggs sourced from France Turbot.
